Holiness Has Not Changed

The Lord dropped this in my heart as I woke up this morning.  He said, "what you want is the driving force behind what you do"  After He spoke it, I woke up. The desire of my heart is for souls to be saved.  But, if those we minister to do not want to be saved, they will not do what it takes to get saved. The Bible is very clear.  It says, 'except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'  John 3:3b. Then verse five to seven says, 'Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That  which is flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."  John 3:5-7 And, if what I desire/want is to see souls saved, then I have to Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine (II Timothy 4),  and ea...

Flesh is no good.  It wars against the Holy Ghost.  It wars against what is right.  It will even war against the one wearing it.   In Romans 7:18-21  states: "For I know that in me (that is in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  For the good that I would I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do.  No if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me." Flesh needs no help doing wrong.  That is why for those striving to make it to Heaven, you have to crucify the the flesh and the works there of.  John 6:63 says, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The Bible tells us what the works of the flesh are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, s...

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."  john 3:19 "For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."  John 3:20 When i came into holiness the Saints would tell us, 'light and dark do not mix'.  In other words, one can not live two lives.  A person can not go to church, profess Christ and still do wordly things.  You can not preach, sing in the choir, usher, etc and profess Christ.  Light and dark do not mix. The Bible teaches that the time would come when men would be lovers of themselves more than lovers of God.  Men would have a form of godiless but deny the power there of.  Men would do that which is right in their own eyes and not according to the word of God.  Seems like that time is now. The Word says to follw peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see The ...

Blessed are the peace makers. For they shall be called the children of God. Mt. 5:9

                                   'When Everything Else Moves You, But the Things of God" It would be the Star Spangle Banner (today is July 4th).  it could be good news about something you care about (family,a job promotion or raise).  It could be an answered prayer.  It could be a move ( what I think is called a tear jerk er).  All of these things can 'move a person'.  By move a person I mean, make one cry, laugh with joy, run, yell out.  The news is so good it just, moves you. Jesus Saves. I have been in stores where the sales are so good that people call relatives and friends to come to the sale.  They want their relatives and friends to benefit from the sale (good news).  Saving money, good news right? Jesus Saves. It could be a good report from the doctor.  Or, a good report from the lawyer or judge.  Tears of joy would flow. ...

Most of the blogs are teachings on how to get saved and then stay saved. The  Bible is the only reference used.  With so much going on and so much false teaching, now more than ever the Word of God needs to go out.  If one person is saved through all this, amen.  For this is the purpose of the Church.  Jesus said he came to seek and save the lost.  Most just do not realize they are lost. Good job, nice home, nice car, extra money in the bank, but lost.  Nice friends, even attend a church regularly, but lost.  Will give to charity every now and then, but still lost.  Children grow up to be good, contributing citizens, but still lost. The longer the Lord delays his coming, the more wicked man becomes.  And even some of those that profess to love the Lord are taking on the ways of the wicked.  I thought about the scripture that says, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall  see the Lord." ...
